Hyundai has come LIGHT YEARS from the introduction of the Pony back in the day. KIA too.

The Sonata looks like a fantastic car, hybrid or not.

The USA plants have me sold. That is if I were buying a new car which we probably won't.

Our '98 Durango has been down for awhile, mostly because I bricked the security system/computer. Don't ask.

In the meantime we've been driving an older Saturn...really GM, did you think this was a good idea? The ergonomics are HORRIBLE!

An older Dodge minivan...We've had several of these and kinda like them. This one is a 6, our FAV was a 1994 4 cyl. I got so good at replacing head gaskets I could do it in WAY less than an hour...in my driveway...in the dark...in the rain.

And then there are the Aveos/Dawoos that Mrs p6's (VERY union and gearhead) brothers love. I have to admit the Aveos get great mileage, are EASY to get into and out of even for my portly self, ride decently and are fairly quiet.

A caution...DO NOT DRIVE THEM IN HEAVY SNOW! One of the most dangerous vehicles in snow I've ever been in IMO!
